    Default NeocronLauncher + Wine/Proton

    Hi,

    sadly Neocron stopped working with wine/proton for some time now. I couldn't make the new launcher work. It would be great if someone could just "port" the launcher to .net 6 or 7 so we can run the launcher natively on linux. maybe even add an option to run Client.exe with wine. I guess the game itself would just work?

    So I could fix it myself:

    export WINEPREFIX=<wineprefix directory>
    export WINEARCH=win32
    winetricks -q corefonts vcrun6 vcrun6sp6 mfc42 dotnet48 quartz vcrun2019 dxvk
    winetricks -q --force wmp11

    Installer crashes if you click on the gear icon.

    Ok it seems this is overkill.

    winetricks -q --force wmp11 corefonts is enough to get the launcher AND the game running.

    Not sure why but SOMETIMES it will require dotnet462? Not sure why that is but there you go.
